Dian Warren Hodge: "day time slumber party"

Hey CHS women and spouses!

I was so impressed with Dian (Warren Hodge)'s experience and expertise I asked her if she would agree to lead a reunion event for women only. She said "Yes!"

The time planned for the "day time slumber party" is Friday, May 15 from about 3-5. We'll get a head start on the party by meeting for "Wine, Women and WOW!" Dian plans a style show, make up demonstrations, door prizes, and a fun afternoon!

Please let her know if you'd be interested in coming so we will get an appropriate space for the gathering. I look forward to finding out some simple beauty routines for our age and stage of life. Most of all I think it will be fun. I hope you do too.

Anne Johnson

It's Louella. I am planning to go to Merle Norman to have makeup done and to purchase before attending our son's wedding in CA in August. Wish I lived closer! Congratulations to Dian.
